[quote=bluebird2;3455800]That was not a mistake and had no effect on the 2002 buck harvest . If ARs hadn't been implemented the 2002 buck harvest would have been over 200K just like in 2000 and 2001.
[QUOTE] You may not think so but Gary Alt most definitely called that a mistake
Thats how the "more and bigger bucks" was explained in the meetings I attended. No, it hasnt lived up to our highest hopes but I notice that you avoid the fact that that Alt said hundreds of times that this was uncharted territory and that mistakes would undoubtedly be made. Whats not a mistake is that there was never a promise that bucks of the same age class would be bigger after AR and that whole thing is nothing more than a lie and distortion/QUOTE]
That is your very biased opinion based on your selective memory. The written word tells the real story and that is Alt claimed our 2.5+ buck would be bigger due to dominant breeding and an improved breeding ecology.
Please provide a link to the "written word" where Alt says specifically that any bucks would increase in size within an age class. Not your 4th grade english teacher opinion, not your interperetation, but a specific claim.
